Chapter 240: Eight years and six months in prison
Shumei chased all the way to the police station, Bo Yi was imprisoned, and no matter how she pleaded, the police would not let her go to see Bo Yi.
She didn't know the law, and she didn't know how to help Boyi, and after struggling with the police to no avail, she had to return to the village.
According to what the police said, let her wait for news, or find a lawyer to defend Boyi. But the police also said that no matter how good a lawyer is, Boyi will inevitably go to prison.
Where did she get the money to hire a lawyer, she could only resign herself to fate.
Life had abandoned her once again, and she felt that the road ahead was uncertain, and she did not know where to go.
After rescue, Wang Hao was out of danger. Although Wang's mother was not in danger of life, the knife pierced the nerve in the lumbar spine, causing her lower body to be unable to move.
After the Wang family came out of the hospital, Wang's mother hired a lawyer and appealed to the court. She refused to chat privately and refuse monetary compensation, and asked the court to give Bo Yi a heavy sentence for intentional homicide.
She appealed again and again, and in the end, Bo Yi was sentenced to eight years and six months in prison.
On the day the verdict was announced, Shumei heard the result, and her head roared and fainted directly on the spot.
When she woke up, Bo Yi was already in prison. She didn't even have time to say goodbye to Bo Yi, and Bo Yi ruthlessly left her and Youchen to pay for his stupidity.
Everything is already like this, and life has to go on. Shumei is helpless, she can't fall, the two children have no father, and they can't live without her anymore.
The grievances and hatreds of their previous generation cannot affect the next generation, even if it is difficult and difficult, she must work hard to survive and strive to raise her two children.
When Shumei saw Bo Yi again, she was already in the prison visiting cell.
Bo Yi shaved his hair, wore a prison uniform, and looked haggard. I haven't seen him for a few days, and he is the same as before.
When Shumei saw him come out, she lay on the glass window excitedly, her eyes flashing with tears, "Bo Yi, Bo Yi ......"
Bo Yi didn't have too many expressions, looking like that, he didn't seem to be happy to see Shumei.
The two sat across the glass, Shumei really had a lot of things to say to Bo Yi before, she was really bitter in her heart, more bitter than eating yellow lotus. But looking at Bo Yi like this, she didn't dare to show the bitterness in her heart.
The two looked at each other and didn't say a word.
It's not bad for Shumei to be able to watch Boyi all the time like this, and a thousand words can't match this side.
For a long time, for a long time, Bo Yi finally couldn't help but speak, "Shumei, it's my obsession that hurts the people I love and the people who love me." Youβforget me, just let me die, and live your own life. β
When Bo Yi said these words, he didn't dare to look up at Shumei. He also knew very well in his heart that he was sorry for Shumei and his young son. The guilt for Qianqian has decreased a lot, but the guilt for Shumei has suddenly increased dramatically, and in the end, it is just a change of soup and not a change of medicine, he is still a complete sinner.
Shumei heard Bo Yi say this, her heart was dripping blood. She didn't think about giving up at all, let alone eight years, even eighteen years, twenty-eight years, she would wait.
She is not afraid of waiting, not afraid of hardship and tiredness, she is afraid that Boyi will give up on herself.
The days in this prison are not as good as outside, if the will is not strong enough, it will definitely be useless when you come out, and you will shed your skin if you don't die.
"Bo Yi, what are you talking about? Who are you right to say that? Even you're sorry for yourself. Isn't it eight years? With a flick of my fingers, I gritted my teeth and passed, I will take care of my family and raise Youchen, I, as well as Youchen and Ning Ning, will wait for you and wait for you to come out. You've been selfish once, and you can't be selfish anymore. You must be good, you are the hope of the children, but also my hope, don't give up on yourself, okay? β
Shumei said with tears like rain, her hand touched the glass, and stroked Bo Yi's face in the air.
Bo Yi's head was lowered, and he finally lifted up, and he reached for the glass, and the two palms overlapped each other through the glass.
"Shumei, I-"
"Don't say anything, you must come out and see me. If you lack anything, you must tell the discipline, and I know what you bring every time I come to see you. β
"Shumei, how can I, Tang Boyi, marry you. I swear to God, when I go out, I will make you up doubly. β
"Hmmm! Remember your words today, and don't lose your words again. You can lose your words about such a big thing as getting married, but this time you won't talk again, right? β
"No, no, no, it must not, I owe you a complete wedding, and I will make it up to you when I go out."
"Forget it! When you come out, how old are we, and I don't want to be laughed at by others. β
Shumei said half-jokingly, with a relaxed face.
She didn't want Bo Yi to have any psychological burden, and she didn't want him to feel more painful and guilty because of herself.
"We don't care what others say, we just have fun ourselves. By the way, if you can't run the grain store alone, you can sell all the grain and exchange some money to supplement the family. and Youchen, if you really can't afford to send your two children to school, let Youchen drop out of school, and let Ning Ning study alone. β
"Alright! Don't worry, I can handle all this, I won't be hungry and freeze your son, I will definitely treat Youchen as my own and treat her well. No one is missing, both children must study, this is the best way out for children, we can't ruin our children's future. β
"But, how can you afford it alone?"
"It's okay, you don't have to worry, you just have to reform inside, I heard them say that if you behave well, you can reduce your sentence, come on, and strive to come out and reunite with us as soon as possible."
β¦β¦
The two couldn't stop talking, and if it weren't for the guards forcibly interrupting and taking Bo Yi away, they didn't know how long they would talk.
Shumei saw Bo Yi leave, and she reluctantly turned around and left.
She also made a major discovery just now, she found that Bo Yi had a new injury on her wrist, wrapped in gauze, although Bo Yi had tried her best to cover it with her sleeves, but she was still discovered by the keenness.
She didn't ask clearly, she guessed that it must have been Bo Yi who wanted to commit suicide and deliberately injured himself. She couldn't single it out anymore, and because of this, she went to great lengths to motivate Bo Yi to make him do well.
Before leaving, Shumei deliberately went to someone to inquire about Boyi's situation, and it was as she expected. On the day Bo Yi was first sent to prison, he found a broken porcelain piece from nowhere and tried to kill himself by cutting his veins.
Shumei is still scared now, but fortunately she didn't mention it just now, but fortunately she persuaded Boyi.
From now on, she will have to live a life of carrying a family by herself.
She sold all the grain in the grain store, and she couldn't support the grain store on her own.
Besides, the consumption in this town is high, and she can't afford to let Xiao Youchen and Xiao Shuangning go to school in the town. In order to shorten the expenses as much as possible and use every penny on the blade, she transferred Xiao Youchen to the village and let Xiao Youchen go to school with Xiao Shuangning.
Now that she has to take care of the children, she can't go outside to find something to do and make money, and there is only one way in front of her, which is to dig in the field.
The land of the Bo Yi family, plus the land of the Jizong family, if the harvest is really good, it is still possible to let such a large family wrap their stomachs.
Boyi didn't leave any savings, the only thing was the money from selling grain, and this building that could shelter from the wind and rain.
Shumei traveled for several days before she solved the matter of Xiao Shuangning's schooling.
Xiao Shuangning can finally go to school, and she is so excited.
Shumei was reluctant to spend money to buy her a schoolbag, so she made a cloth bag for Xiao Shuangning overnight.
Early the next morning, Xiao Shuangning carried the schoolbag that Shumei sewed for her, smiling like a flower.
After breakfast, Shumei sent Xiao Shuangning and Xiao Youchen out of the door, and the two children happily carried their schoolbags and walked towards the school.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, and because the village primary school was still a certain distance from their village, they had to leave early.
Shumei specially prepared a flashlight for them, and repeatedly told Xiao Youchen to take care of her sister.
She stood in the doorway and watched the two children disappear into the hazy night before turning back into the house.
She began her busy day, feeding pigs, taking care of poultry, working in the fields, cooking, and washing clothes.
A busy day passed slowly.
In the evening, Xiao Shuangning and Xiao Youchen returned home from school, along the way, Xiao Shuangning cried and mourned, Xiao Youchen asked her what was wrong, she just kept silent.
"Ningning, what's wrong with you? Is it that someone bullied you at school today? Who is it to say? Tomorrow my brother will go and beat her up. Xiao Youchen squatted in front of Xiao Shuangning's knees and asked with concern.
Xiao Shuangning sat there and muttered.
Xiao Youchen knew that Xiao Shuangning wanted to go to school in her dreams, and on this first day of school, Ning Ning should be happy, but how could she be so sullen! He was puzzled.
"Ningning, are you hungry? I'm going to cook noodles for you? β
"Ningning, is there something you don't understand? I can explain it to you. β
"Ningning, let's go, I'll take you to the cellar to find sugar cane?"
β¦β¦
Xiao Youchen kept asking Xiao Shuangning on the side, asking questions and asking questions, and he was very concerned. It's a pity that no matter what he says, Xiao Shuangning is silent, and his small mouth is high.
When Shumei came back from work, Xiao Shuangning threw herself into Shumei's arms and cried sadly.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Shumei was confused, she glanced at Xiao Youchen, who was a little helpless there, and quickly put down the hoe on her shoulder. Squatted down and wiped her tears for Xiaoshuang.
"Ningning, what's wrong? Isn't this a good read? Why did I come back from school on the first day, and I cried. β
Xiao Shuangning cried vigorously, and the more she cried, the more sad she became.
Shumei had no choice but to move her eyes to Xiao Youchen, although she knew that Xiao Youchen was very sensible and never bullied Xiao Shuangning. But after all, Xiao Youchen is just a child, and it is normal for children to bump and bump into each other, she wondered if Xiao Youchen provoked Xiao Shuangning and made her cry so aggrieved.
"Youchen, can you tell your mother, what's wrong with Ning Ning?"
Xiao Youchen hurriedly shook his head in response, "I don't know, she has been very unhappy since she came back from school, I asked her what was wrong, but she just didn't say." β
